Pichai Does As Promised, Fixes Google’s Burger And Beer Emoji And The Internet Is Happy!

2017 has not been kind to us. Celeb break-ups, unprecedented musician deaths, and the whole barrage of sexual harassment allegations that just keep on piling up. And that’s just the entertainment industry. And there’s still one month to go. But rejoice because we finally have a win! It involves Google, burger and a beer.

So remember how the Twitterverse had the most intense discussion about Google’s burger emoji? The ensuing Apple v/s Google emoji war escalated quite quickly to the beer emoji as well.

I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, while Apple puts it on top pic.twitter.com/PgXmCkY3Yc

And Google CEO Sundar Pichai promised to add to his Monday morning meeting agenda!

Will drop everything else we are doing and address on Monday:) if folks can agree on the correct way to do this! https://t.co/dXRuZnX1Ag

Well, the vox populi cannot be ignored! Google has finally righted both wrongs in the upcoming Android 8.1 version! Emojipedia tweeted about the Google Burger 2.0 and can we say it looks correctly delicious now?

Yaaaaaas there is an emoji God somewhere and he (or she) is probably smiling down at us right now.

Food’s sorted. Now for the drinks, right?

Fret not, for the beer emoji has gotten the much deserved makeover too! If you notice, the beer levels in the mug FINALLY touch the foam on top!

And all is right in the world again!

I have a strong feeling Sundar Pichai is a big Salman Khan fan because “Ek baar jo maine commitment kardi…!”

He promised he’d fix it and he delivered within a month! #CEOGoals #BestBossEver

Unanimous sighs of relief echoed all over Twitter, with lots of people now urging Apple to fix its emojis too.

1. We have been saved!

@Emojipedia It looks like Google fixed the beer and burger emojis in the latest 8.1 developer preview. The nightmare is over. pic.twitter.com/4tiRHLpJOm

2. Your move, Apple!

Ah at last proper burger in android 8.1.

I'm hungry now!

BTW @Apple, the lettuce does not go under the patty!! That needs to be fixed in the next iOS release.

3. Can Tim ‘Cook’ up an equally satisfying revamp? #SorryNotSorry

4. Okay, that’s a win then!

The cheese looks a little less sloppy now 👌

5. The ‘glass half empty’ school of thought made its presence felt too!

Too bad they didn't fix their 2668 other emoji.

Even the guy who was the first to raise the concern is all smirks now!

It's official 😉 https://t.co/Sw67y4Y9gS

So now that this international issue of cataclysmic proportion has been resolved, can we go back to focusing on the lesser important topics like crimes against women, environmental degradation and world peace?
